can you sort this out for us? what's the problem? >> well, the queen has always had a bit of a reputation for being frugal, but in her defense, we are talking about really big utility bills. about $1.5 million a year. times are hard at the moment. we're fresh out of a recession and it seems even the queen is counting the royal pennies. according to documents unearthed by a british newspaper, someone at buckingham palace wrote to the government to ask for their share of a special fund which was really designed for people on no incomes. the money had been set aside to upgrade rickety old heating systems to make them more energy efficient. and no doubt buckingham palace and windy castle fit that bill. the trouble is the queen is generally considered to be way above the poverty line. a spokeswoman for buckingham palace has said that royal aides didn't know the money was earmarked for the poor when they wrote the letters and they were just trying to save the taxpayer money by improving energy efficiency. as you can imagine, this has got t
